Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

ThailandRegarding the reservation system. At first, I booked via Agoda but it passed through the 3rd party, Booking.com. I called directly to the hotel to check my booking and the staff informed me that there was no available room I booked as the allotment between the hotel and online was not matched. There was no room for me. So I had to book directly to the hotel. Once I got to the room (Room 30), the shower (connected to the water heater) had an electrical leak which shocked me. Staff immediately checked but could not fix it at that time, so they moved me to another building (Le Club Hotel) opposite side of the hotel. The room size was good, but I found a dead cockroach on the floor, the water heater didn't work, and very noisy from the neighbor's room watching movies during the night.
Good price, good location, friendly staff "Sharif". Enjoy the nighttime at the bar and pool. Very surprise with the welcome card which include beer and meal promotion.

IrelandThe western staff are super rude and it's hard to tell who works there and who stays there. The music is loud no matter where you stay and sometimes doesn't stop until 2am. A man came into my dorm at 3am one night and woke me up by grabbing my arm, and asked if I was "Sophia". He left immediately but I had locked the dorm door when I went to sleep so maybe someone left it open after, or maybe the lock doesn't work well. Either way it scared me. Worth mentioning because I am unsure if it was a staff member or not.
The staff are super nice and funny. The pool is always nice and cool and the food is affordable and delicious. Dorms are cheap and you get what you pay for! Good location and they rent motorbikes and do laundry on site for a good price. Air Con dorms are comfortable and the bathroom is clean, shower was hot! Beds were comfortable also.

ArgentinaThere's a sign that says "Welcome all new customers to ARENA, get your free welcome drink".. When we asked about it in the afternoon, the bar told us "after 8pm" and then after that time, a french guy, I think he was the manager, said in a very rude way that only the next day we can get it.. This was upsetting, not because of the drink, but yes about the rudeness.
If you come looking for a party hostel, you'll have it.. Many people from the staff were really helpful and friendly.

United KingdomWe paid for a private room with private bathroom but was put in two separate places each night. 1st night was amazing, 2nd night wasn’t so. The hostel wasn’t as social as we first imagined it to be. Maybe it was the time we stopped but wouldn’t stop here again!
First night we was put in a very nice villa with shared bathroom which was amazing. So spacious and had the best views from our balcony. This wasn’t part of the actual hostel but was nice to have the choice to go to the hostel at night if we wanted too.

FranceThe rooms were kinda clean, they didn't clean every day but they took care of everything I asked. No hand soap and no hot water for the shower. The prices are changing drastically, from 60 Bhat to 400 Baht, and not on the full moon‘s 5 nights. So basically you cannot plan a long stay there, or extend your stay. They won't allow drinks or food in the dorm, but the prices at the bar are not cheap, so you have to go to 7-Eleven. And they charge for even just a glass of hot water. So basically, don't expect a cheap stay.

TurkeyThere wasn't even a hanger in the room to hang clothes. Outdoor cleaning was not good at all. I think it is necessary to vacuum it once in a while. The fans were covered with dirt like tar. If you feel sick, it seems impossible to rest in your room because loud music plays until midnight and then the loud noise of the guests sitting outside does not let you sleep. It is also necessary to think three times before entering the pool.
The staff was friendly, the food was affordable and delicious. The music selections were good. Location was good.

India-Music from 9 am to 12am (midnight) on loud speaker with full volume even when no one is there in common areas! -after full day learning kitesurfing in cold salty water, we needed warm shower. We noticed gyser/water-heater/thermostat in pictures of shared bathrooms, but none of the gyser is working to provide a little warm water. -Outside Food and Beverages not allowed in all premises -No place to dry clothes even in the room or neither any line outside somewhere in corner. Also rule like drying up clothes not allowed. - No hookes in the room to hang towels. - They tried to give us smaller room which wasn't in the pictures of booking.com saying you booked room with fan but we upgrade it for free with air con. We saw pictures just after to reconfirm, went and show them the pictures doesn't match and anyway on booking we took room with aircon for reservation. They understood the mistake and right away gave us room matching pictures, which was much more spacious.
We booked room no 1, double bed with air con and shared bathroom. -Room was spacious, aircon worked well, bed was comfortable and sheets and blankets were clean. Clean towels were provided. -There were many activities/sports to do, vibe was alive in the evening time. -All essentials were available from near by seven eleven. -Welcome cocktail, 1 hour of sports complementary and thai food with purchase of one beer felt actually welcoming.

IrelandWhen we first arrived we had no running water but this was dealt with straight away. The next morning we had no electricity and had to ask a couple of times can they fix it. If your looking for a quiet night this is not the place to be, music is extremely loud at night time but it’s expected for a party hostel. We stayed for 3 nights and it was plenty
It was a lovely place to meet people, and is a good party hostel. We got the private room which was lovely for a hostel. Food was very good and reasonable priced.
